Artist's StatementMy artworks are about our perceptions of place and time. By means of "subtractive collage" I combine, then alter my media to reference elements of land/water/sky, and their processes of arising, maturation and return. My use of color, texture, form and edge express, with layered imageries ranging from transparent to opaque, our experiences of dark-light, unfirm-firm, randomness-order, chaos-cosmos. Mystery and miracle make the path; the real ethereal world makes our way.
